WOOD DALE, IL – On June 17, 2009, Thomson is presenting a free, live educational webinar – Electric Linear Actuators 101: Basics for Design Engineers. The latest in a series of regular webinars on the application of linear motion technology from Thomson, Electric Linear Actuators 101 is designed for mechanical motion design engineers at all experience levels who are interested in learning more about industrial linear actuators. The seminar will deliver solid, practical information – not a sales pitch – on how to design and build better machines with electric actuator technology. Two sessions are available, Session A – 10:00 am EST/9:00 am CST/7:00 am PST; and session B – 3:00 pm EST/2:00 pm CST/12:00 noon PST. Registration is required.
“Industrial linear actuators can improve machine designs by taking difficult and often tedious manual jobs and making them easier, automating processes for higher efficiency, providing convenient remote control, removing people from potentially dangerous situations, and replacing maintenance-intensive hydraulics with electrical options,” says Al Wroblaski, Thomson Product Manager, Industrial Linear Actuators.
In one hour, participants will learn:
